Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft Access
[Microsoft] Access has all of the functionalities needed to build concise applications for small offices or needs. The ability to utilize other database platforms like SQL Server is a plus. The ability to create full functioning applications in less than an hour is a big plus. There isn't much you can't do with [Microsoft] Access if you understand that it isn't meant to be an enterprise tool.
- Works on pretty much same SQL scripts
- Forms and reports are easy to customize and edit.
- High learning curve
- Limited support
- No new enhancements
- Cloud Database
- App templates
- Reporting and forms
- Intuitive and easy to learn for onboarding
- Microsoft product works well with in our MS environment
With [Microsoft] Access I am able to quickly create simple database driven solutions with built in UI and reporting in one tool. Advanced coding is not necessary and the tool guides you through building out. Opponents for a robust, end-to/end product.
